Im really new to this web design stuff. Made my first site. Google says my bounce rate is like %70, so i was wondering if you guys could tell me if there is anything im doing way wrong in my design, thats causing people to "vomit" and leave lol http://www.whatcracksmeup.com Thanks in advance lol its saddening to work so hard on something and then see a bounce rate soo high!
not a bad looking site, It may depend on how you are promoting it. If people are coming to your site not looking for funny stuff then there gonna bounce..
Maybe the use of a different color scheme. Black as a background color in this case is not too appealing. Also repositioning the advertisement, so that your content would take up more page width.
The background color is not that appealing... the keywords might also be the reason One big reason might be if you are promoting using social bookmarking sites like stumbleupon or digg The bounceback rate is high in such sites
Interesting comments on the background color - can i get a couple more comments on what people think about the colors, mainly background color? Thanks heaps, Nick
the overall design is very good and easy to navigate around, i do agree that the colours arn't too appealing its a little too dull for my liking and im not a fan of the yellow either but i always find that the content of the site is much more likely to keep people coming back and exploring the site than the design, my overall opinion is that its a nice site
I like the colour scheme and think it's a nice looking site. What you need to do is grab peoples attention in the first couple of seconds after the page loads. Something you could add is a strap line under your logo. Something like 'watch the wackiest videos on the net' (I'm sure you can come up with something better but you get the idea). You need to grab peoples attention and let them know what your site is about as soon as the page loads, otherwise the bounce rate will stay high.
